Description

This 15.3TB (15.36TB) 2.5-inch U.3 NVMe SSD is built for Cisco UCS X-Series compute nodes, including the X210c M8 and X215c M8. It is based on the Micron 7500 high-performance, medium-endurance design and suits local NVMe storage for read-intensive to mixed workloads where FIPS-validated drive encryption is required.

The drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface in a 15mm U.3 form factor and is rated at 1X DWPD. As the FIPS self-encrypting (SED) variant, it is distinct from the non-FIPS UCSX-NVB15T3M2V and from the FIPS sibling capacities of 1.9TB, 3.8TB and 7.6TB. It is hot-pluggable and mounted in a Cisco UCS sled.

A front mezzanine is required to use it. The UCSX-X10C-PT4F-D pass-through controller supports up to 6 U.3 NVMe drives per X210c M8 node, while the UCSX-X10C-RAIDF-D RAID controller allows NVMe to be mixed with SAS and SATA SSDs. Unused slots should be fitted with UCSC-BBLKD-M7 2.5-inch blanking panels.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

FAQs

Q: Which Cisco compute nodes does this drive work with?
A: It is used in Cisco UCS X210c M8 and UCS X215c M8 compute nodes. A front mezzanine controller is required to use it.

Q: Which front mezzanine options support this drive?
A: The UCSX-X10C-PT4F-D pass-through controller and the UCSX-X10C-RAIDF-D RAID controller are the main options. The UCSX-RAID-M1L6 and the UCSX-X10C-GPUFM-D GPU front mezzanine are also listed, with the GPU module limiting the node to 2 U.3 NVMe drives.

Q: How many of these drives fit in one X210c M8 node?
A: Up to 6 U.3 NVMe drives with the pass-through or RAID front mezzanine controller, and up to 2 NVMe drives when the GPU front mezzanine module is fitted.

Q: How does this SKU differ from UCSX-NVB15T3M2V?
A: This SKU, UCSX-NVB15T3M2V9, is the FIPS self-encrypting variant. UCSX-NVB15T3M2V is the related non-FIPS drive of the same capacity.

Q: Can it be mixed with SAS or SATA SSDs?
A: Yes, when the node uses the UCSX-X10C-RAIDF-D RAID controller, NVMe drives can be mixed with SAS and SATA SSDs.
